Thursday, February 12, 2009Mary-Louise Parker on Broadway

If Weeds only leaves you craving more Mary-Louise Parker, check her out in Hedda Gabler, a Roundabout Theatre Company production on Broadway. Though the revival earned a searing review from the New York Times, I didn't really think it was that bad. Parker tries out some dry humor over the course of this dark tragedy and sure, sometimes the voices are a little monotone (don't see it when you're tired) but she still got some laughs. All in all I was still entertained. It's fun to see who else pops up in the cast, too: Peter Stormare (the guy in the second Jurassic Park who gets eaten by tiny dinosaurs because he keeps shocking them) plays, surprise, surprise, the creepy, lecherous judge. Paul Sparks plays the old flame for Mary-Louise's character - if you don't know who he is, take a closer look at Synecdoche, NY. Yep, Sparks played Derek from the flaming house's basement. So, if you happen to be in Times Square at the American Airlines Theater anytime soon, check out a Norwegian, 19th Century version of Mary-Louise. - AK
